Ulkasemi, the pioneer of Bangladesh’s semiconductor design industry, proudly celebrated its 19th anniversary Wednesday, February 18, 2026, marking nearly two decades of innovation and global excellence. During the celebration, the company wined major operational milestones, including over 1,000 successful tapouts and the expansion of its workforce to more than 600 professional engineers, a press release said.
Since its inception, Ulkasemi has been at the forefront of the country’s high-tech sector. The company is now enabling advanced semiconductor nodes ranging from 180nm to 1.4nm, positioning Bangladesh as a key player in the global deep-tech landscape.
To mark this significant milestone, Ulkasemi organized simultaneous celebrations at its Dhaka Design Centers located at Rahman’s Regnum Center and the Trade Intercontinental Centre (TIC). The event brought together a distinguished gathering of guests. Among them were Dr. Arifa Chowdhury Rahman, Chairperson of Ulkasemi, VP of Engineering, Directors and all employees.
The events were inaugurated by Mohammed Enayetur Rahman, CEO and President of Ulkasemi.
